TIL the UK Parliament has a snuff box that must be kept full at all time and is free for use by all MPs. - eviltoast

It was also noted that while under the Health Act 2006 it is illegal to give out free tobacco in the United Kingdom, Parliament is exempt from this as the Palace of Westminster is a royal palace, and therefore legally exempt from the legislation.

        I had a jar of Levi Garrett Snuff when I was younger. I found it at a store in a little mountain town. It looked like it was bottled in the 1800’s and had a little cork stopper. There was enough in the jar to last basically forever. It is powerful, like POW! right in the brain. It’ll give you a headache if you do too much. Otherwise it’s a mild stimulant that hits way harder than it should because of the shock of it. We’d pull the jar out when we were playing poker and all very drunk. Idk what ever happened to that stuff. I must have lost it during a move.
